Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Nope, nectar was the drink of the gods. Ambrosia was their food.

Father of the bride is a western concept; in east asia it's the father of the groom.

This caused a lot of problems for my British friend marrying his Japanese fiancee; neither family expected to pay for the wedding!

Nope, not the same. Ambrosia is the rice pudding of the gods. Although you can use nectar points to buy ambrosia...

I'd make an argument for the 'nectar of the gods.' Homer made the distinction that ambrosia is food and nectar is drink, but other poets like Alcman and Sappho referred to them the other way, and many ancient texts used them interchangably. The phrase "Ambrosia, nectar of the gods" is almost ubiquitous, despite having unclear direct origins.

yes, first line of the wikipedia article on ambrosia:

"ambrosia is the food or ***drink*** of the Greek gods"

and if someone doesn't like wikipedia, there are lots of other sources that confirm
